    Spud, I dunno where she was cos she works in a fruit and veg shop after work and I will pick her up when I finish work...but I am sick to death of running around after her......for just bullcarp in return....

    She is going totally off the rails tbh and when you tackle her about it its just a mouthfull of abuse that you get....so whats the answer:confused: I failed once with DS, she seems to be going the same way...its sad cos she is a bright girl (in theory)
    :grouphug: It sounds really frustrating hun. But you haven't failed - a lot of kids that age lose themselves a bit, make bad decisions, do things they shouldn't. All you can do is try your best with them and pray that they come out the other end fairly unscathed and as reasonably well rounded adults.

    I know I only know you a little bit, but it seems to me that you are being way too hard on yourself here.

    Feel a bit sad all of a sudden. Probably the loss of my day.
    Has anybody ever joined one of those dating sites? It was suggested to me today.
    Back later - hope someone is still up.
    Have lovely evenings everybody and enjoy your running those who go. :j

    I'm thinking of doing a half marathon Snags...
    You're way way ahead of me in terms of how far/fast you can run, so I might just cheer you on when you do yours! :rotfl:

    But it's a possible longer term plan. :D

    Could it be an attention seeking thing...is she maybe jealous of the attention DD1 is getting with baby, house etc :confused::confused:

    You certainly havent failed hun :rolleyes:

    I am a bit tired today I think. I also seem to be a bit of a cash cow....DS came to parties at the weekend, I bought him new clothes and all his drinks (and he drinks a lot!) gave him money for the train home and not one dot of thanks did I get!

    DD2 has lost a passport thats costing me £80, the d of e expedition thats costing me £110 and she has lost a phone that I AM NOT replacing....

    I don't think she is jealous of DD1 but she thinks she should be allowed to do the same things, when in reality she does far more than DD1 EVER did at that age...I think a big talking to is coming up....the attendance officer said that they are getting a bit stir crazy cos they know the GCSE's are getting nearer and the bluddy stupid prom is getting them all giddy...

    I will just cry if she doesn't get enough GCSE's to get into art college, cos I really don't know what I will do if she doesn't..

    Thanks Snags......:rotfl: I actually see an awful lot of myself in her.....which is waaaaayyy to scary to contemplate.......:rotfl:

    you just don't want your kids to make the same stupid mistakes you made (and in fact still make on occasions...:eek: )
